Former Senator Fred Thompson hasn’t even announced his candidacy yet, but he is already on his THIRD campaign manager. Britney Spears keeps husbands longer than Thompson keeps campaign managers. In any case, he has hired the widely respected Bill Lacy, who had been running Bob Dole’s Library in Lawrence, Kan., to manage his campaign. Good luck to Bill because he will have his work cut out for him.
Thompson will be the flavor du jour in September when he finally does announce. However, Lacy will have to sustain this momentum, raise a ton of money, organize the early primary states, and put a compelling platform in place in a matter of four months.
As Han Solo of “Star Wars” would say, “I got a bad feeling about this.”
